I am glad this event was geared for kids, after all that is what makes childhood so great. As stated multiple times on this site, if kids aren't interested it won't do well at retail. Having said this, I honestly do not see how Joe could ever come back in this day and age of video games and tech centric youth. For anything to have true staying power and appeal it must hold the interest of kids. Back in the day of the early 80s the cartoon was new, fresh, and appealing. Sadly, this is not likely today. I don't think reinventing or rebooting Joe will help either; shelf life for these types of campaigns never seem to have staying power. It saddens me to say it because Joe is the best, but it appeals to an older generation. I hear people say all the time that their child loves the Joe cartoon and thus it must still resonate with kids. I would say those children are the exception, not the rule, influenced by their patents'love for a nostalgic show.
